Between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, Indigenous plant breeders living in what is now Mexico began domesticating a grain called teosinte. By around 4,500 years ago, they had distributed a plant recognizable as corn across the Americas.

Teosinte is a tall grass. Female plants produce "ears" only a few inches long with less than a dozen kernels encased in a hard coating.

Through selection for desirable traits, Indigenous plant breeders developed ancient teosinte into what we know as maize, or corn, today. Modern scientists estimate that selections were made that affected more than 1,200 genes of maize's 59,000 total genes.

Though many have been lost, there are still hundreds of varieties of corn available today. Many of these are appropriate for Virginia home gardeners, including many varieties of sweet corn, which can be eaten right off the cob!

We are happy that we are participating in Farm Market Fresh for senior citizens this year.

“ the Senior & WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (S/FMNP) is a federal and state nutrition program administered by DARS’ Division for Community Living that authorizes farmers to accept Virginia’s Farm Market Fresh for Older Adults and WIC Program (S/FMNP) vouchers at farmers' markets.

The purposes of the program include providing fresh fruit and vegetables and nutrition education to participants; promotion and use of farmers’ markets as a direct marketing outlet for Virginia farmers; and promotion of Virginia fresh fruit, vegetables and cut herbs.”
